We have provided help to countless individuals to overcome their addiction by means of our extensive treatment methods and recovery principles.

Detoxification

The first step of our program is our detox program. After an individual has used an addictive drug for a regular period of time a physical dependence occurs and takes over. When dependence or addiction has developed it can be unsafe to suddenly stop using the drug without professional help from a medically monitored detox procedure. Addictive drugs such as alcohol, valium, heroin, meth, crack, demerol, vicodin and many others cause a wide range of withdrawal effects such as anxiety, agitation, insomnia, muscle aches, vomiting, sweating, abdominal cramping, diarrhea, nausea and more.

At Drug Rehabilitation Center East Meadow we offer the needed medical supervision to make our clients as comfortable as possible through the detox period. We offer 24 hour care and support throughout this crucial first step in the rehabilitation process. Our clients often state that they feel a renewed sense of hope once they have finished the detoxification process.

An important step in recovering from addiction is to recognize that you have a problem. A person who refuses to accept they are addicted cannot move forward to solving a problem they deny they have. For many, when it comes to confronting their addiction situation, also requires the individual to try to figure out how and why it developed in the first place. Addiction often occurs when someone uses a substance to relieve physical and/or emotional pain in order to minimize negative feelings and emotions. If an individual doesn't learn the source issues guiding their addiction and does not receive help, it will be extremely difficult for them to fully recover from their addiction.

Accepting that you have a problem is a very important first step in dealing with alcohol addiction or drug abuse. In addition you also need to have the desire to do what is needed to change your life. Taking inventory of the reasons for making a change keep you focused and motivated on recovery. Many people find it helpful to write down why they want to change. Reasons could include wanting to be a better mother/father, be a happier person overall, to feel more accomplished and successful, repair damaged relationships, to be healthy again, or to simply repair the damage caused by your addiction.

Do not only concentrate and be absorbed on the problems as a result of your addiction, as focusing in on the negative things of the past usually makes you feel hopeless. Instead, focus on your future and the recovery process. Focus on the positive things that are sure to happen when you have recovered from addiction. At Drug Rehab Facility East Meadow we will help you to embrace your prospects for a happy, productive, addiction-free life. A future fulfilling long lost dreams and goals in your newly created addiction-free life. You will feel better physically, have more energy, have greater success financially, have lasting relationships, be more productive at work, and have time to enjoy and explore new hobbies and recreation. Taking the time to list out these goals can keep you excited and motivated throughout the recovery process.

Long Term Rehabilitation goals

At Drug Treatment Program East Meadow we believe that the number one factor in determining success is whether the patient has truly overcome their addiction. Success can only be measured by the patient's belief in their ability to remain clean. Short term rehabilitation programs commonly fall short of this goal.
